We also carry many of these same size wheels in various grits from 80
up to 220 and also in different grit layer thicknesses ('x' dimension
of 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, etc.). We also we can have almost any wheel
custom manufactured for your particular job2.

Guide
To Selecting Your Wheel
CBN, also known as Borazon, is
used to grind hardened steels. Very tough, these wheels are
normally run wet.. Primarily used in toolroom applications
for grinding and sharpening cutting tools such as drills, router
bits, planer knives, wood knives, etc.. Grit size
determines metal removal rate and finish. Common grit
sizes are 80 to 220. 80 would be coarse and 220 would be
fine. Most applications would use a 120 grit wheel.
The 'X' dimension is the CBN layer thickness. The thicker
the thickness the longer the wheel life but the cost is
increased as well. A good thickness for most applications
would be 1/8". 1/4" would be for extremely heavy use and
1/8" would be for light use or for testing purposes.
The bond is what holds the grains
together. The most common bond type is Resin although
there are Vitrified and Metal bond CBN wheels available for
special applications.
The concentration, in layman's terms, is the actual amount of
CBN in the mix. Generally, a concentration of 75 or 100 is
preferred and the price of the wheel will be correspondingly
higher as the higher the concentration, the more CBN the
wheel contains. The range for concentration is 25 to 125
but there is no standard -- Each manufacturer uses their own
guidelines. All of our wheels shown here are 75 or 100
concentration. Be careful when shopping for 'low price'
CBN wheels which may be 50 concentration or less -- This
greatly reduces cutting action and wheel life in many
applications!

and/or depths, please contact us as we only offer a handful of
our wheels here for online purchasing.
